Noob issues and ???????
 

I am rather new to this so please be patient. I did a self install to the root directory of my website some days ago.. I for some reason cannot get any pictures/photos to load. I have checked permissions, file folders, etc. The files are in their proper locations however vbulletin will not load them. Vbulletin will not even load their generic logo's. I have even gone to the extent of uploading a few different "themes" however, once again, pic's/photo's/logo's will still not show up.... I reverted back to the original install and started from scratch, nothing works..... I am lost Any HELP would be greatly appreciated. the site is: http://www.odtra.com
Thank you very much in advance,
Mark

Whats the permissions on the images folder?

Check and change it in FTP, to 755.

Thank you for your input.
I checked permissions and changed to 755.
From what I can gather now,the .htaccess file is blocking the image from showing up on the home page. The program .php vbulletin requires that an absolute path to access the image and the htaccess file is blocking that from happening. The only way to fix that is remove the code for the .htaccess file that is causing the issue, but because I do not know which programs are using what, and what changes they have made to the .htaccess file there is nothing at this point that I can do.I have many domains hosted at my hosting company and http://archeryjunk.com is the host directory for my hosting account.
This is the part that is blocking the file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://archeryjunk.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://archeryjunk.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.archeryjunk.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.archeryjunk.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

After changing permissions, photo's/pics are showing up however a plugin I am using (marco1banner ads) will not reflect any images. I am still testing.
